Both Napoleon's French and Hitler's Nazi Germany troops, invading the Russian Empire (Soviet Union), ultimately suffered losses due to the territory's harsh climate, a lack of resources to sustain troop activity, and the sheer number of opposing troops. Napoleon's defeat is well-serialized in Leo Tolstoy's epic novel "War and Peace;" both Napoleon's and Hitler's losses have been charted in any number of scholarly monographs.
